International. Clear Com's 50th anniversary marks an important milestone for the company as it commemorates its incredible heritage of advances in communications and the people who contributed to its success.
"Over the past 50 years, Clear-Com has become one of the most recognized and coveted communications brands in the Pro-Audio industry.

Our technology platforms, our global reach, our diverse range of markets and applications go beyond the imagination of the founders of Clear-Com. " said Bob Boster, president of Clear-Com.
